JAMMU, Aug 31: BJP State president & MLA Sat Sharma (C.A.), during his visit of Bhagwati Nagar inspected the ongoing repair works on fourth bridge of river Tawi. He was accompanied by JKPCC Managing Director Dalip Thussu, Executive Engineer Pawan Gupta, PWD Chief Engineer, Alok Mengi and AEE Manoj Gupta.
Sat Sharma, after inspecting the work related to repair of the damaged pillars and upper portion of the bridge which was washed away in floods, held threadbare discussions with the senior officers of JKPCC and PWD, wherein he sought the progress made so far in repairing the bridge and construction of damaged pillars. The technical aspects were also discussed with them.
Sat Sharma told these officials that there should not be any compromise on the quality and round the clock work should be undertaken so that the traffic is restored on Bhagwati Nagar bridge at the earliest. He said that due to damage and resultant closure of this vital bridge, the people have been made to suffer due to traffic jams and diversion of vehicular movement. He urged the concerned departments to ensure that the new pillars are constructed and the repair is work undertaken as per the laid down norms and there is no lapse in following the same.
The officials present on the occasion assured Sat Sharma that one tube of the bridge will be made fit for traffic movement within next 15 days and the remaining work will also be completed very soon.
Sat Sharma, earlier on the previous day, during the inauguration of Government Dental College at Ambphalla, had also urged upon the Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti to direct the JKPCC and PWD to complete the work on priority for the convenience of the people.
BJP leaders of Jammu West district Parmodh Kapahi, Ayodhya Gupta, Puneet Mahajan, Dr. Pardeep Mohtra, Veena Gupta, Asha Rani and Darshan Kumar also accompanied Sat Sharma.
